Apple’s
iOS mobile platform dominates the enterprise segment with about 64%
share worldwide in 2014, followed by Android with 27% and Windows at 9%,
a report by virtualisation solutions firm Citrix said.
“iOS
remains the dominant mobile platform in the enterprise at 64%
worldwide, Android is gaining popularity in Asia, and Windows is more
than twice as popular in EMEA (16%) as it is in North America (7%),”
Citrix mobile analytics report for the first half of 2015 said.
IOS
has 67% share in Americas, 57% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
(EMEA) and 67% in Asia Pacific (APAC) in 2014, the report said.
It
added Android is growing in APAC region, rising from 19% in 2013 to 33%
in 2014, possibly due to the large presence of Samsung in the region.
Device diversity is greatest in EMEA, where Windows phones have the greatest presence of 16%, it said.
The
report said as device management becomes a more critical function,
enterprises are seeking less obtrusive ways to maintain security while
ensuring an acceptable experience for employees, such as a shift from
all-or-nothing device-level policies to more granular app-level
policies.
“The
line between personal and business mobility continues to blur as people
routinely use the same smartphones and tablets across every part of
their lives. It?s no longer possible to maintain artificial boundaries
of personal and business mobility,” Citrix Vice President of Mobility
Solutions and Alliances Chris Fleck said.
The
report also said mobile users that own an iPhone 6 Plus generate the
most data volume of all iPhone-owning subscribers. iPhone 6 Plus owners
use twice as much data as iPhone 6 and about 10 times as much data of
iPhone 3GS.
The report said that the difference is attributable to more video viewing on the larger screen.
“Clearly
the phablet sized iPhone 6 Plus shows data usage patterns more akin to
tablet usage. For mobile operators, this increase provides an
opportunity to shift subscriber wi-fi usage towards mobile networks,”
the report said.
The
report is an analysis of anonymously sourced information encompassing
both mobile subscriber and business mobility data drawn from a global
cross-section of Citrix customers.
